in our old house and it was great -,had the deep sink for pans -it was spendy. But here is the thing ,chips in the porcelain showed up in time. American Standard I think it was.She always said I did those chips because I am not careful enough- I really don't recall doing that.
but I probably did it . !

Seems to me you have a number of factors to consider -tile ,granite and you appliances you want it all to blend together.

Al I can say is that there is an up side and a down side to everything, sometimes we simply have to trade off.

But if you shop around and you are not in a hurry to change out your sink-you will probably locate what you are looking for even if you are not sure exactly what right now.

Good luck.
